CryptoMix Ransomware is a severe threat to your personal files if any of the variants of this vicious program manages to sneak onto your system. Our malware specialists say that this ransomware has become a growing family as several new variants have emerged on the web lately, such as Exte Ransomware, Zayka Ransomware, and Azer Ransomware. This ransomware can encrypt more than 850 file extensions, which means that you can lose most of your files in this malicious attack. Although some of the variants have already been hacked by malware hunters, and some free tools have appeared on the web to help victims restore their files, we cannot say this about the latest versions yet. Therefore, it is quite likely that you will have to say goodbye to your files unless you have a backup copy somewhere safe and preferably not connected to your PC. We would never advise you to pay the ransom fee to get the decryption key or tool because no one can guarantee that this will happen at all. What we can tell you out of experience is that cyber criminals rarely keep their promise. Even if they send you something for your money, it could be yet another malicious hit. Thus, we highly recommend that you remove CryptoMix Ransomware from your computer. Read more »

Ransed Ransomware is a relatively new threat that can infiltrate your computer and try to encrypt your personal files. Luckily, this ransomware program may not be the deadliest hit to your PC. Our malware researchers at anti-spyware-101.com say that this infection may not even work properly as there seems to be no connection with the C&C (Command and Control) server. This becomes quite obvious as even a pop-up error window claims it. This ransomware program was programmed in .Net, which let our researchers have a peep into its functions and operations. Since this threat could encrypt your important files, it should be regarded as a warning for you to keep a backup somewhere safe. A lot of ransomware attacks end with victims losing their files because there is no free file recovery tool appearing on the web or even if they pay the ransom fee, the criminals do not deliver the decryption key. In this case, your files seem to be untouched, but we cannot take responsibility for the future; if this connection issue gets resolved, this ransomware may as well encrypt your files. Therefore, it is vital that you remove Ransed Ransomware ASAP from your PC. Read more »
